On July 18, 2013, the City of Detroit, Michigan commenced a bankruptcy case under chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code as a result of over $18 billion dollars in accrued obligations and dwindling revenue sources. Since the commencement of a chapter 9 case in Michigan requires the express authorization of the Governor, Detroit's petition attached a very poignant letter from Gov. Richard Snyder acknowledging the financial issues plaguing the City, and authorizing the chapter 9 petition as it posed the only viable solution for resolving the City's financial problems. Some of the key points from Gov. Snyder's letter include the following:
- "The City's population has declined 63% from its peak, including a 28% decline since 2000. That exodus has brought Detroit to the point that it cannot satisfy promises it made in the past."

I love this recipe. Have made it for sorbet course on Thanksgiving. I use blood oranges. I have not found the orange flower water, but hope to have it for next time I make this recipe.
Entirely too sweet and not enough orange flavor. I'd cut the syrup to 1/2 and add more orange juice, and perhaps some zest. It needs a little tartness.

If I'm not mistaken, I got my asparagus starter plants from Triangle John three years ago. Well, here it is three years later and, after peering at the soil all month and finally giving up, I saw some spears sticking out of the ground today! It's like they popped out of the ground like a jack-in-the-box. I just harvested them, roasted them for a few minutes with some veggie oil, garlic, and salt & pepper, and had the most scrumptious dinner! Thank you, Triangle John! What a thrill! |

I can confirm your timing and rapid growth. I was looking at my empty garden yesterday and today. Today I saw spears, yesterday there was nothing. Now we know when to expect growth. |

Since that long ago swap and now I have moved and just this winter put in a new asparagus bed. I thought I might have done something wrong since there wasn't any signs of life - then all of a sudden "Boom!" - nice little rows of spears. |

Not that I'm greedy (Okay, maybe I am!) … do asparagus plants spread? I sure hope so! I started out with 5 golden raspberry plants and half-dozen strawberry plants and now have oodles of both. I hope my asparagus plants multiply as well! :) |
- Posted by trianglejohn z7b NC (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Apr 12, 13 at 9:57
Yes they spread, not as fast as raspberries or strawberries but they spread. The main crown gets about a foot across (as big as a basketball) and when they are that big they can send up between 6 and 12 spears. You can dig the crown up and break it into pieces to spread them or you can look for seedlings which take a long time to look like more than a green thread sticking out of the mulch. While they are small you can dig them up and give them their own spot in the bed and they'll grow faster. Seedlings always seem to grow right in the shadow of their parents in my garden - they'll do better moved a foot or so away. Even though a lot of the plants are sold as 'sterile' or 'all male', the longer you have the plants the more they'll revert to male and female. You'll see the red berries in the fall, which are your females bearing fruit. You can either harvest them and break them open to get the seeds and sow them like any other garden seed or let them fall and sprout in the spring. |

Wow -- thanks! I didn't even know about the red berries! I'll definitely look out for them. I'll share with my friends and neighbors, who are now interested thanks to my enthusiasm. :) |

Mix oil and flour in heavy glass measuring cup. Microwave 8 mins, stirring at 2 min intervals. Be careful it is very hot. Chrisy says it is done when it smells burned. I believe this is true because I have made many two roux gumbos. Once the roux is dark brown add to Gumbo pot. Add onions, bell pepper, and continue to cook the vegetables until tender. Add okra cook down some. at last add garlic and continue to cook two more minutes. Add tomatoes and broth. Cook for at least two hours. Add seasoning, seafood and cook a short time longer.

Tommy Hagen has produced a series of intricate Cirque du Soleil-inspired masks which invigorate color and dimension in these traditional pieces. Each mask is hand painted in a series of obscure extremities. Attached to the bright and colorful masks are long vivacious wigs which add spunk to each photograph. The combination of colors from the mask, wigs and backgrounds make for an intricate array of artistic behavior.
The Dutch hairstylist is contributing this work towards TonkaTon, an on going project by Tommy Hagen. The mask series is photographed by Henrik Van Der Zwet and captures a high amount of spunk and attitude for the hairstylist. Hair art has officially been taken to the next level.

Re:Electric. (659 comments)
Hardly. The most technologically advanced diesel engines with two-stage turbos and common rail injection are in small passenger vehicles. The engines in large trucks have much longer update cycles and are typically older technology than what you see from VW or BMW.
Re:Electric. (659 comments)
Why stop there? Why not also object to tire friction, air friction etc? Let's not be pedantic here, the initial discussion was raw efficiency of the power plant, ICE vs electric motor, which basically means shaft output. You can significantly improve the overall efficiency of a system with a hybrid turbo-diesel setup where the TD drives a generator directly in its optimum power band, thus also gaining regen braking advantages etc. The most efficient setup may very well end up being a consumer targeted KERS system with a battery just big enough to always run the car electrically and a TDI engine just big enough to always keep the battery topped up. Long term of course a micro gas turbine could be the bestr answer, but those are only just starting to leave the R&D stages at small companies and aren't yet tested in high production volumes.
Re:Electric. (659 comments)
> a GMC Yukon SLT that is nicer inside than most of what BMW, Audi, and Mercedes sells at that price point, it rides better
"Nicer" is truly in the eye of the beholder. I have yet to see an American vehicle whose interior doesn't--to me--scream cheap and amateurish plastic, your particular truck included. And "better ride" is also highly subjective. For me a better ride means a good amount of road feel without being jarring, good road feel through the steering wheel, a low center of gravity and the ability to take tight turns reliably and without losing traction or lots of body roll, etc. IOW the types of things a Yukon or Denali don't have a prayer in ever giving me, yet my lowly Jetta has in spades. I'm really not interested in tons of power since it's mostly pointless with our ludicrous speed limits. But I do want a stick shift so I can get really good 0 - 35mph times at the lights, which is where--let's face it--the real fun is!
Re:Electric. (659 comments)
Here is a Wikipedia excerpt regarding modern turbo diesels, currently the most efficient automotive ICEs:
"Modern turbo-diesel engines are using electronically controlled, common-rail fuel injection, that increases the efficiency up to 50% with the help of geometrically variable turbo-charging system; this also increases the engines' torque at low engine speeds (1200-1800RPM)."
A 50% efficiency is pretty amazing and testament to over a century of dogged, steady improvement. We're approaching the theoretical maximum efficiency of the ICE.
Follow the money... (109 comments)
My gut instinct says that very rarely do people in the public eye follow totally altruistic agendas, particularly when it comes to issues like this that have little to do with the common good. If you dig deep enough you can find special interest trails that more often than not uncover these people's true motivators. Just follow the money.
Re: follow the money (334 comments)
You're exactly right! I've done tons of "exploratory" coding over the years myself, either using some new techniques or new products, just for the fun of it or to learn something new. But that would always be on small, low visibility projects where the consequences of potential poor performance or other issues would be insignificant. To tread new ground on something so big with national visibility is foolish. You'd want the most well established and known reliable and performant tools and techniques possible. I played around a bit with these object based databases in the early days, and for some uses such as simple dictionary type access to a serialized object they're good. But the query syntax is almost always XPath oriented and less than optimal for complex joins such as you would find in massive systems like this. I guess they've learned their lesson now.
Re:That's fine and dandy (289 comments)
I was mainly addressing your jackass "you obviously don't..." response to the guy above. As you mentioned the article contains no technical details, so neither you nor I have any basis for a great debate. Fact is only that various technologies DO exist to dramatically increase the effective throughput of optical drives, the question is only if any of them will be used in this particular product.
Re:That's fine and dandy (289 comments)
You obviously don't understand SATA3--that's 6GBits/s, which given the encoding used is 600MBytes/s. While I haven't seen the technical details of these 300GB disks, historically the bit density has increased in both dimensions with each new generation of technology. I would also assume that to reach such high capacities they will go multi-layer, which opens the door for parallel reading of all layers. Furthermore, there is a lot of research into multi-track reading and writing technology, where the laser is split into multiple beams which are read back by a linear sensor array. That way a number of adjacent tracks can be read in a single revolution and reconstructed in a buffer into a single data stream that's effectively N times faster, N being the number of tracks. That, plus the higher bit density and multiple layers could come close to saturating the SATA3 bus. I'm sure that the engineers working on 300GB disks haven't sheepishly missed the data transfer bottleneck elephant in the room.

Re:iterative innovation (417 comments)
To put it another way, as time goes on we're running out of simple ways of arranging magnets in novel configurations to create some new machines never before seen, or variations on this metaphor. To create truly new things requires orders of magnitude more work and knowledge.Look at battery technology, where the most groundbreaking improvement of the last century has been the Li-Ion battery, and that's no panacea either. Or how about the PEM fuel cell, potentially the holy grail of electric power generation? Scientists have been tinkering for decades to come up with a better and more eficient membrane and cheaper catalysts, and considering the potential payoff yet still no revolutionary break-throughs this has to be considered seriously difficult stuff. Oh, and how about flat screen TVs? The stuff of science fiction for over a century they are finally here, common and cheap and almost mundane, and they replaced the CRT faster than anybody could have predicted, in a few short years. Yet nobody is blown away by them because they weren't suddenly revealed at some big event with pomp and circumstance. We witnessed their excruciatingly slow gestation from the crappy LCD watches of the early 80s to the passive monochrome LCDs of the first generations of laptops to the much, much better active matrix LCDs to the first ridiculously expensive TV sets, to finally today's $200 Walmart special. After over thirty years of familiarity they're just not that flash anymore. Yet if you brought someone from the 60s here today (s)he'd be mesmerized by this miraculous new technology.
Re:Stallman bitches, film at eleven (597 comments)
Holy crap, here's the actual extract from http://www.stallman.org/archives/2006-may-aug.html#05, specifically the entry at 05 June 2006:
"I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing."
So unless his domain was hacked and these aren't his actual views, let me just sat WOW!
Incidentally, the parent poster presents some pretty widely held and well founded views, and even backs them up with references to the actual words of the person he attacks, and he still gets modded down? Welcome to

Re:i call BS (290 comments)
Actually from all my observations their Achilles heel is their slow-ass web services. Both the desktop and mobile web apps initially load quickly enough, it's the subsequent data pulls via web services to refresh GUI fragments that lag badly. Haven't checked the granularity of their services, but on mobile fine granularity is particularly bad because of the typically atrocious latency (although LTE is heaps better than HSPA). Regardless, even in the desktop site you can see these ws call latencies, when you click to view a detail and sometimes it pops up instantly, sometimes you get the spinner cycling endlessly with apparently nothing happening and you eventually have to F5 the site. Their ws API has always sucked lemons and that's biting them in the ass particularly badly with mobile.

Re:Why not use a Linux distribution? (202 comments)
You're right of course, in terms of the GUI the Mac was better thought out and more flexible. Frankly I preferred its look and feel to the Amiga until 2.0 arrived. I also remember its movable memory architecture where each memory access happened relative to a dynamic offset that the OS could change at any point, which allowed it to move chunks of memory around as it saw fit without upsetting their owner apps. I'm not really sure the actual design of the OS had has much to do with the success of the Mac though as did the marketing machine behind it. Commodore was self destructive in every way imaginable, they couldn't recognize a good thing if it bit them in the ass. They could have easily taken the Mac OS and turned it into the same failure as the Amiga if given the chance. We loved the Amiga despite Commodore, while many people love the Mac because of Apple. It was a great machine for its time, the Linux of the day for us renegades back then. But when the writing was on the wall that it was going nowhere, around 1992, I swallowed my pride and bought a PC. While Windows 3.1 did suck majorly, with Windows 95 it became good enough to where one could finally concentrate on the apps rather than fight the OS. Nowadays it seems the OS is becoming less and less relevant with so much moving online. I routinely swap between Windows and Ubuntu, and may even give the Hackintosh a go. But this new wannabe Amiga? Nah...
Re:Why not use a Linux distribution? (202 comments)
And gamers, don't forget gamers! Because in the 80s the Amiga wasn't just an awesome development platform but also by far the best gaming platform. No telling how many of today's avid gaming Gen-Xers started on the Amiga. For me it was the other way around though--I got to the Amiga because of the games and flash and it dragged me tooth and nails into the programming world, making my future career all but inevitable. I will confess that before getting the Amiga I was actually seriously in love with the Atari ST because it LOOKED like a more polished product with its crisp monochrome screen and no-nonsense and clean GUI, plus of course that built-in MIDI interface that beckoned to a budding musician. But after endless pouring over magazine articles and learning more about the technology behind the two platforms the choice was clear. While both the ST and the Mac (which I sure as heck couldn't afford anyway) had more polished UIs, their underlying OSs were quite primitive compared to the Amiga. Few non-technical people realized just what a quantum leap that OS was. It really took until Windows 95 and its new 32-bit code base (disregarding its legacy 16-bit support crap) for a mainstream OS to replicate what the Amiga had since 1985. The Mac only got there with OS X. What's most amazing though is that the original Amiga 1000 did all that with a paltry 256K of RAM. It's fascinating to look under the covers and see the memory efficient design of the ROM, with much of the OS executing in place in ROM, the shared linked-list based data structures that were used for anything from memory maps to sprites to sound maps. You could so easily see the various subsystems independently at work when the OS went belly-up with a Guru Meditation while the sprites still merrily moved across the screen and the sound still played (provided those data structures hadn't been trashed). Oh, and who can forget the Amiga tracker scene of the day, with all those cool MODs? Anyone remember the Axel F one? Fire off some of those for your friends and they'd be all gobsmacked--wow, a computer can do THAT?!

It means that if you're not at least Gold Status (50,000 paid miles flown in a year) or more likely Platinum (75,000 or 100,000 miles) chances are you will not be invited. These are our best clients, why not trust them a little more?
Re:All I can say is (527 comments)
It's not exactly like that, and it's not exactly new. First you have to pass a rigorous background check, the same one I passed to work for an airline.

Re:It's all the customers' fault... (406 comments)
Data throttling is happening after 1.5GB to people on an unlimited plan whereas it doesn't happen to people who have 2GB or 3GB plans. That tells me that AT&T is coercing customers with an unlimited plan to drop it and go with a limited plan. It would be just fair for Data Throttling not to occur before 2 or 3GB of usage, to be in par with the other consumers. I think the FCC should step in and stop this abuse of consumer rights.

Re:Not being a troll, Serious question. (169 comments)
You do own the phone. You're free to do whatever you want with it if you can figure it out. Oh, you mean you want Apple to do all the work for you, release all the documentation and provide you with the tools you need? Sorry, but they have no obligation to do that. You're still free to do it on your own, but then don't come crying for Apple to replace it for free when you void the warranty trying to hack/mod your hardware. You are free in every way to use the hardware as you wish, what you are really angry at is that Apple makes no attempts to help you in that endeavor.
Really? So why did Apple feel the need to file a patent under which they can kill an iphone by distance when they find out it's jailbroken?
Who know if they'll use it or not, but that's not the point, they have a patent for it.

That's why I'm so pissed at Apple. 10-15 years ago they would not stop criticizing Microsoft for being the Evil Empire (tm) but they have become worse than Microsoft with all their stupid restrictions and obsessive controlling behavior.

Charges Filed In Stonewall Attack
Patrons shocked after incident inside bar considered birthplace of the gay rights movement.
A patron at New York's Stonewall Inn, a powerful symbol of the gay rights movement since protests over a 1969 police raid there, was tackled to the floor and beaten in an anti-gay bias attack over the weekend.
Two men were arrested in the early Sunday beating, which came little more than a day after a group of male friends bidding an affectionate good night to each other were attacked in another anti-gay assault elsewhere in Manhattan, prosecutors said.
The attacks came amid heightened attention to anti-gay bullying following a string of suicides attributed to it last month, including a New Jersey college student's Sept. 22 plunge off the George Washington Bridge after his sexual encounter with a man in his dorm room was secretly streamed online.
In New York City, hate crimes are up over 50 percent from this time last year, a fact NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne says should be looked at from a broader perspective.
"While one bias crime is one too many, the numbers still reflect a harmonious city considering the fact that New York is the nation's largest urban center and the world's most diverse one," he said.
The attack prosecutors described at the Stonewall Inn especially galled and saddened gay rights advocates, some of whom wondered whether a place known for a defining moment in the history of gay rights might spur a new push for tolerance.
For Stonewall owner Bill Morgan, the episode was a sharp and upsetting contrast to its legacy.
"We at the Stonewall Inn are exceedingly troubled that hate crimes like this can and do still occur in this day and age. Obviously the impact of these men's violent actions is even deeper given that it occurred on the premises of the Stonewall Inn," he wrote in an e-mail.

Welcome to the home of Jo Goudie - Coloured Pencil Artist Hi, and welcome to a site devoted to the promotion and encouragement of coloured pencil as an art medium and the fantastic coloured pencil artists in the UK that are pushing the limits in this field.
Since 2005 I have been experimenting and learning to use this fantastic medium and I have finally found what works for me.
As a member of the UK Coloured Pencil Society I have entered their exhibitions for the last 9 years and been accepted. On my third year of acceptance I was given Signature Status which honours my skill in coloured pencil. I received my certificate in 2007. In 2009 I gained my Silver Signature status for having been accepted 5 years out of 10. I am very proud to have achieved this.
I have also been accepted as a member of the North Wales Society of Fine Arts. Society membership is by selection, the criterion being the quality of the work in its artistic conception and technique. I am very proud to have been considered skilled enough to be accepted.
Also, for the last 4 years I have been judged into the National exhibition of Wildlife art which is a major exhibition for me. I have also sold my work here in 2011 and 2012.
On this site you can see what I am working on, exhibitions I have been accepted into, see a portfolio of previous work or even buy a high quality print or other items from my online shop. This is totally secure and uses Paypal as the payment method.
This site also showcases other talented UK coloured Pencil Artists. Just take a look and I am sure you will find plenty to grab your interest.
Best wishes
Jo Goudie (UKCPS, NWSFA)

According to Freud's psychoanalytic theory, repression is the involuntary, unconscious concealment of uncomfortable thoughts and desires in the unconscious. People tend to repress memories when they are too painful or difficult to deal with at the time. People do not actively know that they are hiding their memories in their subconscious, that process is called supression.
Example: A child who grew up in a violent household later has no recollection of the abuse.

Who needs an en-suite wardrobe?
February 27th, 2013Have you ever gone to bed after a good night out, then in the early hours, bleary eyed, with your bladder bursting you get up and mistake the wardrobe for the toilet?
Many a man has had that horrible feeling in the morning when they go to the wardrobe and step on the sodden floor, look to the ceiling and realise it wasn't the roof that leaked.
Just like the king of the jungle where a lion marks his territory, could this be a man's subconscious way of marking his territory to show he's the head of the house?
The solution to this problem could be a 'lazy-man en-suite wardrobe'. …continue reading : Who needs an en-suite wardrobe?

August 18, 2010
PIERRE, South Dakota: The November 2, 2010 general elections are just around the corner. This week, the secretary of state released the 2010 ballot question pamphlet. The pamphlet features each question that is scheduled to appear on the November ballot, including: the title, explanation and effect of the vote as provided by the attorney general. Additionally, the pamphlet includes arguments in support and opposition of the proposed measures.[1] The pamphlet can be found at every county auditor's office, public libraries and is available online.

In 2006 voters saw as many as 11 measures, more than half of which were citizen initiated. This year, voters will see a total of four measures: two legislatively-referred constitutional amendment, one veto referendum and one initiated state statute.
On the ballot: November 2:
Type | Title | Subject | Description | Result |
LRCA | Amendment K | Elections | Protects the right to secret ballots in federal, state, and union representation elections | |
LRCA | Amendment L | Gov't Finances | Repeals the automatic annual transfer of $12 million from the trust fund to the state general fund | |

Deadline Deals: Yankees Add Stephen Drew, Martin Prado
The New York Yankees may not have made the biggest splash at Thursday's trade deadline, but they made two moves that they hope will be incremental upgrades to the roster.
The first deal was with the Boston Red Sox, of all teams. The Sox, who had already parted with Jon Lester, Jonny Gomes, John Lackey and Andrew Miller earlier in the day, sent shortstop Stephen Drew to the Bronx for infielder Kelly Johnson, as first reported by ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes.
The Yankees showed a lot of interest in Drew during the offseason, but the 31-yar-old went without a team until he signed a one-year, pro-rated $14.1 million deal with Boston. He is batting .176 with four home runs and 11 RBI in 39 games. While those numbers leave much to be desired, he does have a .477 slugging percentage and .806 OPS in his last 20 games. Drew will be the Yankees second baseman going forward.
Johnson is currently on the disabled list.
The second deal saw the Bombers land jack-of-all trades Martin Prado from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The deal was first reported by Jack Curry of the YES Network. A versatile player, Prado has played first, second, third, shortstop left field, and right field in his career, though he has primarily called the hot corner and left home. He only has two career innings in right, but that looks to be where he is heading.
A .290 career hitter, Prado also brings solid contact to the order. He is batting .270 with five home runs and 42 runners knocked in this year.
In exchange for Prado, the Yankees sent prospect Peter O'Brien to Arizona. O'Brien has a lot of pop, as he has hit 33 homers this season, but has a poor overall approach at the plate and has yet to find a true position.
In related deadline news, the Yankees designated second baseman Brian Roberts for assignment. Roberts was batting .237 this season and just .200 since the All-Star break.
They also claimed pitcher Esmil Rogers off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays. In a corresponding move, they released infielder Scott Sizemore.

4K Ultra HD TVs deliver, you'll be convinced. The believing begins at Best Buy.
Get four times the picture resolution of Full HD 1080p. The increased pixel density allows you to sit very close for a fully immersive experience.
Images are breathtakingly lifelike. Get incredible picture sharpness with an amazing level of detail.
Dramatically improve the picture quality of all your current movies and TV shows to gorgeous, near-4K Ultra HD quality.
All of the 4K Ultra HD TVs at Best Buy will make your current movies and TV shows look absolutely fantastic. This is because of advanced video processing chips that upscale any content to near-4K Ultra HD quality. This is an incredibly impressive feature and something you will definitely want to try out in our stores. Keep in mind that a number of 4K Ultra HD TVs sold elsewhere will not have this ability.
Hollywood has filmed the majority of their big-budget films in 4K for many years now, so there is a large amount of great 4K content out there. Now it's just a matter of developing new ways to deliver it to your 4K Ultra HD TV.
Already, Netflix has announced that House of Cards and Breaking Bad will be streamed in 4K. Sony has introduced a 4K Ultra HD Media Player that comes loaded with free 4K content, plus you can use it to download for rent or purchase more than 200 4K films. Other TV manufacturers are currently planning similar devices.
You can also buy Blu-ray movies that have been "Mastered in 4K." While not True 4K content, these movies will look tremendous on both 4K Ultra HD and Full HD TVs.
Best Buy has decided to carry only the 4K Ultra HD TVs that pass our demanding standards, ones that deliver the finest 4K picture and upscale your current content with the quality you expect. We're doing this because we don't want you to be disappointed with a TV that can't match up to the promise of 4K Ultra HD, today and the future.
Make your purchase from Best Buy with confidence. The 4K Ultra HD TVs that we carry all have advanced technology, which will allow them to play all 4K content as standards evolve. They can also be easily enhanced through software updates (similar to software updates for your computer).
Many bargain-priced 4K Ultra HD TVs will not have this advanced technology, which will prevent them from displaying certain 4K content in the coming years.
Like with most innovative technology, the prices for 4K Ultra HD TV were initially quite high. However, this year is marking a dramatic change in the marketplace, as a large number of 4K Ultra HD TVs are being released. You'll be surprised how much prices have fallen within Best Buy's selection of future-proof 4K Ultra HD TVs.

I ordered 4 leaves online which I received last week. I wish I'd taken close up pics of them but didn't. Three are doing fine but the 4th got limpy on one side and there's also a weird dark crease with a light-colored line down the center, almost like it got creased and was damaged. I was very careful with them when I planted them. I don't know if the limpness is related or not. In the pic the crease is at the lower left of the leaf. I've done leaf propagation before when pruning/repotting and never had any problems. I also didn't stress since there was nothing to lose. In this case, I bought the leaves and want them to succeed! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here's what it looks like from the back. I had to hold the limpy part up with my hand, unfortunately. |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 10, 13 at 19:02
It's hard to tell if there's real damage but I have cut off damaged sections of leaves and still had success. I would watch it closely for a day or two and if the damage seems to get worse or is spreading, I would cut away the bad section leaving the large vein to the top. Let's see what others have to say. Linda |
Take the manicure scissors and cut off the piece with discoloration - not only the break, but everything that turned on the back of the leaf. - practically up to the leaf stem. Do not damage the stem. Dip a Q-tip into ground cinnamon - and dust the cut. Shouldn't be any problems afterwards. Irina |
Aha - Linda - I told you we always agree! It will spread...the whole leaf will rot if not taken care. |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 10, 13 at 19:25
Irina, That's because we are both totally awesome. Linda ;) |
Thanks. I waited to gauge the health and it deteriorated since taking the pics. I cut off the side and top (including top of stem) because it wasn't looking good up there either. Hopefully I left enough of the stem. I then dabbed cinnamon along the edge. Some got on the leaf and I cleaned it off best I could. Hopefully that's ok. Now just wait and see. I'm bummed. It had such a pretty curly leaf too. |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 11, 13 at 1:54
Kat, What's the variety? Linda |
Post-op photo. If you go back to the original photo you can just see that the top of the leaf is hanging over and brownish, so I trimmed that also. The brownish speckles are the cinnamon that I cleaned off best I could. The hairs make that difficult. =^.^= |

Kat, It looks like it might be okay. Make sure you enclose it with a baggie or a dome to provide extra humidity and give good light. I wouldn't worry about the excess cinnamon. If it doesn't work I have a Windy Day. I'll send you a leaf. Let us know how it goes. Linda |
- Posted by Perle_de_Or Zone 7 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 11, 13 at 14:17
I have done the same thing (cutting bad sections off) with very good success. In fact, I don't think I have lost any that I did this with. Its amazing how tough these plants are and how much they want to grow! Yes, definitely cover it. |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 11, 13 at 15:30
I am always dumb-founded when people say violets are difficult to grow... Linda |
I did cover it with a baggy, as well as my other leaves. I have this one separate from the other 3 tho. Linda, AVs are the only thing I seem to be able to grow, besides Pothos. Having 2 cats also limits what I can have in the house, so works out well! |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 12, 13 at 0:56
Kat, I think if you can only grow one thing, violets are that perfect thing. There's nothing better than blooming violets on a cold, dreary, winter's day. :) Linda |

Y does everyone do soil leaf propagation just get a cup of water put clear rap on it poke a hole in it and I have allways had 100% success |
Michael - with soil method you get a blooming plant much faster - and you can produce more babies if you need them for whatever reason. But if you are not in a hurry and you only need 1-2 babies - why not- much less hassle. I. |
I learned the soil method first so that's why I do it. Bad news, I noticed new browning this morning along the upper part of my cut. I was hoping by now I was out of the woods. :( I guess I could trim again, nothing to lose right? |
Exactly! |
My leaf survived and has 2 little leaves coming up, both about 1/4 inch across. My other 3 leaves which I bought at the same time also have leaves coming up! Yay! Thank you all who gave me advice. |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 7, 13 at 1:51
Kat, Thanks for letting us know how it turned out. I hate it when people just disappear... Linda |
- Posted by fortyseven none (My Page) on Sat, Sep 14, 13 at 4:43
Hi Linda On another thread, you gave me some great advice about rooting a leave. I did have leaves at times that did not put out babies. I just let them be, and months later, they did produce babies! The babies have not yet grown into plants, so I don't know how strong they will be. Years ago, I lived in a house |
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 14, 13 at 16:04
Joanne. Old orchid's growers trick: water well, turn off the lights and go away on vacation! This will give you about two and a half weeks time off. I use it extensively because my other passion is travel. I've been to four of the seven continents-Africa, Asia, Europe and North America and I fully intend to visit the other three as well. Linda |

Hi Linda Yes, you are indeed living the "abundant life!" What fantastic advice! If I thought I could I do have a few orchids. joanne |

By the same token, since mathematics is extremely broad and the career/research opportunities are correspondingly diverse, there is no "single plan" that will work for every student of mathematics in every year. We encourage you to use the links below or in the navigation menu to the right to explore some of the research and career options available, but please note that it is important to always be on the lookout for career and research opportunities. In particular, to keep up with the latest career and research information please subscribe to the Department's weekly undergraduate newsletter.

text: I had my vehicle surrounded by thugs a few days ago, driving to the local IHOP with my wife. There were about ten to fifteen of them, spread across both lanes of the small back road that leads to the restaraunt. As we drove up some spread out like normal human beings when a vehicle approaches, but one or two belligerants glanced over their shoulders and kept on taking up the road. The "spidery senses" we're definitely raised when we were surrounded and almost at a dead stop when some of the ones now behind my Jeep yelled something to the ones in our way. They finally spread out and we went on our way. I'm guessing they said something about my bumper stickers, starting with my USMC Eagle, Globe and Anchor, Iraq War Vet, Afghanistan War Vet and finally NRA sticker. Maybe bumper stickers aren't all bad!?

Beautiful. What is your trick? I can't seem to get white callas to grow here. I figured they must prefer cool weather. |

The giant white Hercules cultivar do fine in my 9b yard, I have 7 and 5 have bloomed. All are in part shade, mostly filtered sun. I have tried other calla lilies with not as much success as this particular cultivar. |

Thanks for the tip on a variety that does well here! |
Looks like you have palmettos in the background, pine scrub with typical Florida sandy soil or did you build the soil up some where you have the Callas? Tom |
- Posted by morningloree 9b (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Apr 1, 14 at 19:54
Didn't build up the soil, only mulched it to keep weeds out. I sometimes water with some miracle grow added. Always at war with the palmettos, they would take over my yard. |
Beautiful Calla...I have a couple of the smaller yellow ones that are just now beginning to come back. I'm waiting for my Hosta to pop up as well...I hope it comes back this spring! |

With the Composer, Lensbaby introduces a completely new lens, based on a ball and socket configuration that delivers smooth selective focus photography with unparalleled ease. The Composer retains its position after being bent and is easy to use even with one hand.
Photographers no longer have to squeeze the lens to focus, but can simply tilt the lens to a desired angle and then focus with a traditional barrel focusing ring. The Composer stays in the desired bent position without requiring a locking mechanism and features the new Lensbaby Optic Swap System.
The Composer features a unique manual focus design which requires more rotation to move the optic as you approach infinity. This makes it easier to focus on objects at intermediate and distant depths than regular manual focus lenses.
All Lensbaby lenses bring one area of a photo into sharpest focus with that Sweet Spot surrounded by gradually increasing blur. By bending the Lensbaby lens, the photographer moves the sharp area around the photo for customized creative effects.
The Lensbaby Composer is commonly used for Landscape/scenery, Macro photography and more.The Lensbaby Composer is popular because customers like the following qualities of the Lensbaby Composer: Easily interchangeable and Lightweight.
Dimensions | 2.25" high x 2.5" wide |
Weight | 3.7 oz. |

Reclassification Procedure (Full)
- A student may challenge his/her non-resident classification by submitting a completed Residency Application to the Office of the University Registrar. (An application may be obtained from the Office of the University Registrar, 2nd Floor, Conwell Hall.) The application should include a written statement of reasons in support of the student's claim for Pennsylvania domicile and supporting documentation. Each student will receive written notice of the decision on his/her application. The notice will be sent to the student's last known permanent address by first class mail.
- The student may supplement the documentation requested in the Residency Application with any other information the student deems pertinent to determining his/her residency status. The deadline for submitting an application and all appropriate documentation will be the last day of late registration for the semester or summer session the student wishes to be classified as a resident. The specific dates are located on the Academic Calendar . An application filed after such date shall be deemed effective for reclassification purposes the first day of the following semester. The Office of the University Registrar will date-stamp each application upon receipt. A student who submits an application and all appropriate documentation after the deadline cannot be reclassified any earlier than the first day of the following semester or summer session.
- A preliminary determination regarding a student's domicile will be made by the Admissions officer for the student's school/college. This determination is subject to review by the University's Residency Certification Officer, who may either approve or modify the preliminary determination. A student may appeal the Residency Certification Officer's denial of a reclassification by directing a written appeal to the University Residency Appeals Board (hereafter the "Appeals Board") within 30 calendar days from the date of the written notification of the Residency Certification Officer's decision. The appeal and any relevant documentation must be sent to the Office of the University Counsel at the following address: University Residency Appeals Board, c/o Office of University Counsel, Temple University, 300 Sullivan Hall, 1330 W Polett Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19122-6086. Phone: (215) 204-6542 Fax: (215) 204-5804. The student may request a hearing before the Appeals Board. Questions about the appeal process should be presented to the Residency Certification Officer in the Office of the University Registrar. The Appeals Board will notify the student of its decision in writing. The determination of the Appeals Board is final and constitutes an exhaustion of the student's appeal rights within the University.
- The effective date of a reclassification resulting from a student's challenge is determined by the date a completed residency application is filed with the Office of the University Registrar. An application will not be considered complete until appropriate documentation has been submitted. Depending on whether a student meets the deadline set forth in section D2, a reclassification may be effective at the beginning of the semester or summer session in which a residency application is filed, or at the beginning of the following semester or summer session.

ELIZABETHTOWN Spencer Alexander Egglefield, 84, of Elizabethtown, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loved ones on Friday, October 5, 2007. Spencer was born in St. Huberts, New York on January 19, 1923 to Spencer R. and Evangeline (Nye) Egglefield. Spencer joined the United States Marine Corps during World War II as a night fighter pilot. He returned to Elizabethtown in 1949 where he took over operation of Egglefield Brothers Ford, the third generation of the family-owned business. He successfully ran the business until 1979 when he took a position with the New York State Motor Vehicle Department. He married Ellen Hurley of Plattsburgh on December 28, 1983. They enjoyed their homes, friends and families in Elizabethtown and Port Orange, FL. Spencer was appointed Essex County Treasurer in 1978, where he served four consecutive terms until his retirement in 1995. After retirement, Spen and Ellen opened a mini resort, Schroon Lake Place, on the shores of Schroon Lake and enjoyed many wonderful times with family, friends and patrons. In addition to being a self-taught musician and avid golfer, his love of antique cars and their restoration occupied much of his time over the years. Spencer was a member of the Elks, Kiwanis, American Legion, VFW, was Commander of the Awkward Squad, Chair of the Lake Champlain/Lake George Regional Planning Committee, the Lake Champlain Canal Board and Past President of the Whiteface Chapter of Antique Automobile Club of America. Spencer was predeceased by both of his parents, and his first wife Meredith. Spencer is survived by his wife of twenty-four years, Ellen; a brother, Lew (Bud) Egglefield and his wife Marijane of Elizabethtown; his children, Dennis and his wife Joan Egglefield, Deidre Egglefield and her companion John, Wendy Daniels and her husband Judd, Patricia and her husband Paul Baker, Kari Egglefield; step-children Christine (Mark) Mero, Lynda (Thomas) Dubkowski, Sandra (Richard) Perry, Patrick (Danielle) Hurley; 16 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. A memorial service was held at the United Church of Christ (Stone Church) on Wednesday, October 10, 2007. A graveside service followed at the Essex County Veterans Cemetery in Wadhams. In lieu of flowers, the family will be establishing a scholarship fund in Spencers name. Arrangements are with W.M.Marvins Sons funeral home in Elizabethtown.

Thomas Frank Carr
ESPN Radio 1450 Draft Analyst
2014 Running Back Rankings
- Carlos Hyde Ohio State
- Tre Mason Auburn
- Terrence West Townson
- Lache Seastrunk Baylor
- Bishop Sankey Washington
If you are looking for a lead back to carry the ball for your team for eight years, look elsewhere. There are no complete backs in this draft. Carlos Hyde leads the class this year. He has the size, strength and the power to be an NFL running back. Yet he lacks speed, and any sort of 'wow' factor to his game. He could be a tough, gritty power back at the next level, or he could be the guy who just can't cut it. Much depends on the situation he walks into. There are also a lot of smaller backs in this draft. Mason, Seastrunk and Sankey all are 5,9" or under. That's not as much of a problem as the fact that they are 205 pounds or less each. We've seen small backs succeed in the NFL before. But those backs were low to the ground, thickly built power backs who were hard to bring down. None of these players exhibit that in their game... The one who does is Terrence West. West has the potential to be in the Ray Rice, Jones-Drew mold of back at the next level. The problem is that he lacks agility and change-of-direction skills.
The Weakest Links
This is one of the weakest running back drafts in recent memory. None of these backs deserve a first round grade. Give the depth at other positions and devaluing of the position overall, I wouldn't take a running back before the middle of the 2nd round this year. These backs are role players and system specific talents. None of them have transcendent skill.

Using WampServer on my desktop. It looks more stable than VertrigoServ. I recommend!
I have been using wamp for a very long time now. It's the only server development package out there which worked out of the box after installing on my and my friend's computers (replacing XAMP which NEVER worked without errors). In my opinion it's a golden piece of software you have been making here!
Easy to install all I need, thanks.
This is great
I gues it is a good tool! i got just some problem with configuring that! y can acces to phpmyadmin without problem, but if i wanna open my proyect y gets stock!
Using WampServer as my local server development environment for my Open Source extensions. Just great!

Matt Orr and Rich Swier's goal is simple: to remind locals of the small wonders that brought them here to live in Sarasota; to get people to shop, dine and play downtown every day; and to leverage the strengths of every merchant by bringing the community together to make the upcoming season the best yet.
Since Orr and Swier started their I LOVE DOWNTOWN Sarasota initiative Aug. 20, more than 2,025 people have joined its Facebook site. The social-networking page encourages fans to post photographs and comments on why they love Sarasota.
One resident posted the following on I LOVE DOWNTOWN Sarasota's Facebook page: "The Sarasota Opera, the theaters, the restaurants, the art galleries, the consignment shops, the boutiques, the music, the food/restaurants, the small town feel with big city amenities, the harbor, the mishmash of people from all over the world. I'd say Sarasota belongs to the world!"
And another posted this: " … I love the youthful energy in the art scene, the musicians and other artists that work so hard to keep downtown alive, the merchants who are committed to doing whatever it takes and the Ringling Bridge, the best place to walk and enjoy the view."
Throughout the next few months, the I LOVE DOWNTOWN Sarasota team plans to launch new ideas, such as I LOVE DOWNTOWN Sarasota T-shirts, in order to gain social media attention and networking in hopes of drawing people downtown. One example of a T-shirt slogan: Be Fruitville and Multiply.

A Practical Guide to Outpatient Wet Dressings for Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis
- Jennifer J. Schoch,
- Dawn M. R. Davis
- … show all 2 hide
Pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common skin disorders in children. AD affects all aspects of a child's well being and impacts the child's family as well. For treatment of atopic dermatitis, the application of topical corticosteroids under occlusion via wet dressings is a safe and effective treatment. However, wet dressings may be underutilized due to lack of familiarity with the technique. This article aims to supply providers with a practical guide to the use of wet dressings in the outpatient setting.

I got a Brewferm Kriek kit as part of a birthday present... Its dated 2009 Looking for some ideas on what to do with it. Most of the posts I searched for here were started but never gave results on how the kit ended up. Anyone have input on how it is or suggestions on what to do with it? my initial ideas are to: A.
